The LE Velocette was manufactured by Veloce Ltd, a company more famous for its bigger performance bikes, from 1948 up to the late sixties. With its horizontally opposed water-cooled twin-cylinder engine and all enclosing bodywork it was designed to answer criticism that motorcycles were noisy and dirty and to a large extent it was successful. At first offered with a 150cc engine, its initial performance was somewhat pedestrian so the motor was eventually increased to 200cc and it found favour with over 50 police forces around the UK. Police riders of the day were expected to nod to senior officers whilst riding past and the bike became known affectionally as the 'Noddy' bike to the general public.
This 1960 200cc model has been part of a private collection for a number of years and has been authentically restored keeping a good degree of originality. The bike has not been run for a few years so will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a workshop manual and a current V5C.
